Visualize This: From my editor

Thanks for yet another very enjoyable chapter. If I had known statistics would be like this, I would have actually taken classes.

This is from my editor for Visualize This. (She’s in charged of making sure my grammar doesn’t suck and my words flow like melted butter.) I can’t remember the last time—if ever—I told someone I’m in graduate school for statistics and they didn’t groan about how they hated it in high school and/or college. So you can imagine my delight when I read this. I think I’m on to something here.

I just finished my masters degree in statistics, and have been teaching Advanced Placement Statistics for the last 7 years in a Washington DC Suburb High School. This kind of comment warms my heart and reminds me what I hear from my students almost every day in class: “Mr. C, this stuff is useful!”

Kudos to Nathan. Now, everybody, go out and buy the book if for no other reason than to help Nathan recoup some fees the hours, days and years he has spent supporting FlowingData and the junkie-like addictions that he feeds us every day! How many carmel lattes would one need to sacrifice to by his book? Pitch in everyone, and say thanks with your wallet.

I would like to review your book before using it in my upcoming class at Lim College. This will be great opportunity to teach statistics by using visualization to fashion design students. Can you provide me a copy?
